The quest for the 2017 Fall Team Tennis trophy will begin on Thursday, Sept. 21, 2017! We're playing on the hard courts at Tampa Tennis at HCC, adjacent the HCC Dale Mabry campus. This will be a doubles-only, 7-week season, on Thursday nights from 7:00 to 9:30 p.m. The format will be best of 3 regular sets, with a 10-point tiebreak in lieu of the third set.

We're aiming for four teams of six players each. If you have a preferred doubles partner, let us know in the comments section of the registration. In balancing teams, we'll try our best to pair preferred doubles partners.

The registration fee of $45.00 covers the courts and balls for the season. You must be a paid member of ATB to register.

Don't delay! The 24 slots will be filled on a first-come, first served basis. If you have any questions, you can text or call Neal Mobley at 813-389-3745. We look forward to seeing you out on the courts with us on Sept. 21!

Maybe it takes having women on the team to win as The Divas, the only team with women on it this season, captained by Diana Zarreke, clawed their way into the finals of this season's team tennis competition and pulled off a victory in the final night of play. The La La Lads had the season high in points going into the finals but couldn't hold off the surge of The Divas. Congratulations to their team, as pictured clockwise: John Myers (kneeling), Dre' Baez, Jan Moennig, Diana Zarreke, Mark Akchin and Chris Goldsmith.

Congratulations to Darrell Creighton as he captained the String Theorists to the Fall Team Tennis Championship. It was a great season that saw two teams tied for second, requiring a tie breaker based on number of games won throughout the entire season to decide who made the finals. That is a close competition folks!!!

In the championship match for the Spring 2015 season, the Sets Addicts claimed the league trophy with a 7-1 drubbing of the Servivers. In the third-place match, the Handgrippers beat the Dare Devils 6-3, 6-3 in a WTT team doubles format. Congratulations to our champions, and thanks to all who participated--players and subs alike! See you in the fall!

The Spring 2016 season of Team Tennis is schedule to start on Thursday, March 3rd, and will finish on Thursday, May 12th. Matches will be played at HCC Thursday nights from 7 to 10 pm. Participants will play one pro-set of doubles followed by a pro-set of singles. Cost to participate in the 10 week season is $55, which covers court fees and match balls. Registration is now open on the event page at: http://www.atb-tennis.org/event-2150599/Registration. Alternatively, you can contact Neal Mobley (jnm99x@yahoo.com813-389-3745).

Team WellStrung, leaders during most of the league season, crushed second-place Sets Addicts 6-0 in the championship match at HCC this evening. Congratulations to Captain Glenn York and his team for winning the 2016 Fall Team Tennis title!

Casual Sets defeated Bauer Power 2-1 to win the Spring 2015 Team Tennis Championship. The final was determined by best-of-three doubles play, with Captain Tom Quicksell's team winning the 1 and 3 doubles positions to etch their names on the league trophy.

Casual Sets entered make-up week with a one point lead over second-place Bauer Power, and the two championship-bound teams met one last time before next week's trophy round. Bauer Power emerged with a 5-4 victory that resulted in a tie for first place. In the other make-up match, Racquet Science defeated The Cribbs 6-3 to finish the regular season in third.

Next Thursday, May 7th, is Championship Week! Bauer Power and Casual Sets will play for the league trophy, and Racquet Science and The Cribbs meet again to determine third place. All league members are invited to help us celebrate the end of yet another Team Tennis season and come out and watch the matches. ATB will also provide snacks and refreshments.

In Week 9 action, league-leading Casual Sets slipped past The Cribbs 5-4 to guarantee a spot in the May 7th championship match. They'll face Bauer Power, 6-3 winners over Racquet Science. In this week's make-up matches for the rain-interrupted Week 8 match play, the two leaders will face off one last time before playing for the trophy.
